Returning here today, did I finally read the photographer&#39;s name under the image of the flower vase on the steps. Now I know why it look so familiar: Only last week did I receive two books of photographs by André Kertész!

Your floral, pastry combination is already making me hungry, and when I close my eyes, I see visions of perfect watercolors that integrate both the flora, and the yummy tastes of the parisian bakers. Don&#39;t forget your back excercise papers as well Carol, and let Bear do much of the walking for you. He&#39;s quite stong and able (and so terribly cute ;). What&#39;s that? Oh yes, I&#39;m certain I heard him say that he would be returning home with his beloved &#39;Parisian brother&#39;. How EXCITING!!!! I look so forward to seeing their reunion. Do capture each moment :) I hope you are able to find that dress; it IS totally lovely, would adorable on you as well as appear perfectly matchy matchy, which naturally equates to FAB! That is utter style and sophistication! I would LOVE one too, so please, do tell if you can find one. Safe travels, paint like you&#39;ve never painted before, with reckless abandonment, and allow yourself to enjoy all of the YUMMY treats you will be painting.<br /><br />Much love, xox<br />RisaRisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433150654645400708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-69869072557289378252011-03-15T14:42:40.388-04:002011-03-15T14:42:40.388-04:00Your floral paintings are unreal, Carol!

I find pashmina to be fabulous to keep off a chill inside the aircraft (and you won’t have to use those questionably sanitary aircraft blankets). You will get tons of compliments everywhere you go, too. I now have an extensive collection of pashmina—solid colors like black, turquoise, red, fuschia pink, purple, and golden yellow. I also have 2 gorgeous paisley ones. The scarf (or two) and pashmina will serve you well!<br /><br />I look forward to your posts from Paris!<br />Voyages sûrs--et ayez un temps fantastique à Paris!<br />KerryKerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-12882515717863218092011-03-15T01:10:23.622-04:002011-03-15T01:10:23.622-04:00How exciting for you!
